Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! For over three years, Rob Shaver, 48, has run at least a mile every single day. Through rain, pain, and the weight of a terminal cancer diagnosis, his daily streak has become more than a habit — it’s an act of resilience, a step-by-step refusal to surrender to his disease.

The Life We Have traces Rob’s two-decade journey with stage four cancer, confronting profound questions at the heart of the human experience: What gives life meaning when time feels fragile? How do we keep moving forward when suffering feels endless?

As the film unfolds and Rob’s story deepens, we are invited into an intimate meditation on mortality, movement, and a reminder to cherish the life we have.
